GI Joe Classified | Doc | Action Figure Review

Welcome to the latest MoDXtra: Games & Collectibles action figure review. In this instalment we're taking a look at the new G.I. Classified Series Doc Figure.
Another function in the Classified line up has arrived - we've got a medic folks! Doc is undoubtedly an iconic GI Joe character and I for one anticipated this figure greatly. The type of action figure storytelling you can do with Doc is a little different, with an interesting accessory selection to open up a world of possibility when you are posing up your figs. Think on the exciting scenes you can make with your GI Joe Classifieds now with Doc zipping around patching up Joes after a particularly gruesome encounter with Cobra forces! It's exciting - hopefully he'll live up to the promise.
This is a THOROUGH review. It will involve a look at the packaging & "peg presence" of Doc, an overall view of the figure, and then some detailed thoughts around his aesthetic, articulation, and accessories. (My action figure review Triple A's LOL).
Its exciting to have a continued focus on GI Joe Classified on the channel, and its my hope that if you've been thinking of picking up a Doc of your own its my hope this thorough review will help you make your decision.
YO JOE!

...back in the early wants, I was so disgruntled thinking that he had been neglected in the line. Them when he was announced, i was highly excited. Now I'm anticipating his delivery. Very thorough review. Much appreciated.

[@MoDXtraGC]

I'm happy for you @MAGEtvPTB - I've got a few early wants yet to come, but those that have arrived made me real happy too. I'm glad you've got this little slice of excitement - that's awesome! :)

[@Jake_E57]

I'm really looking forward to Doc. He holds a special place in GI Joe to me because the original was the very first GI Joe I ever got as a kid. I like that he's a modern take on the classic design and I will have to play about with the pouches to get a configuration that I like.

[@MoDXtraGC]

Seems Doc has quite the fan club! Lots of folks like yourself Jake seem to have fond memories of owning Doc when they were younger according to the comments. I'm glad you'll finally be able to own a modern version of your very first Joe 😀

[@jasonanderson2768]

Great review. Doc was always one of my favorites. YOJOE!!!!

[@MoDXtraGC]

Thanks Jason. :) Looks like from your thumbnail you were at JoeFest?

[@CobraLaLalLal77]

Can’t wait to get DOC and Jinx. Another great review!

[@MoDXtraGC]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch & comment. Please make sure you swing back around and let me know how you get on with them once you've picked them up. I hear they are starting to be seen in Walmarts across the US, if you're from around those parts of course. :)

[@CobraLaLalLal77]

@@MoDXtraGC I live in Wisconsin and my targets and Walmarts here never have stock. I have to preorder online mostly

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

I wasn't hugely anticipating Doc, but this figure looks very solid. I like all of the gear on his vest. He's a walking hospital. Classified doesn't sell out very fast on BBTS, so I'm happy to pick him up some time in future, rather than rush to preorder him.

[@MoDXtraGC]

Nice. Swing back around and let me know if you grab him and how you get on. 😀

[@beingafinefigure]

Now we need Lifeline! Great review my friend!

[@MoDXtraGC]

I would LOVE a Lifeline. I have fond memories of Lifeline appearing in old Action Force comic storylines. I totally agree! :)

[@FullersFigures]

So yeah broke the ‘code’ and watched this. So excited for Doc. He was an early Action Force figure for me. Agree with you on the load out. It does look quite cumbersome on him. Still can’t wait for him though.

[@MoDXtraGC]

LOL - I'll give you a pass! The 'code' is flexible amongst us ;) I'll keep an eye out for your take on him. I had the Action Force Doc too. The cumbersome vest situation is only minor when looking a the fig as a whole, and asides form the fiddly glasses I've had a great time with him!

[@ghremixofficial]

Absolutely love your character skillset explanations. Hasbro should make these the official one :D

[@MoDXtraGC]

I don't know what you mean - those are official... 😉😉🙈

[@jerellewynn2855]

Doc is a must have. A great looking figure. I agree maybe the vest could have been different. Overall he's a good figure.

[@MoDXtraGC]

Yep - the positives vastly outweigh the negatives here. The vest and glasses were worth mentioning, but I have had a great time with this figure this week! 😀

[@bobbywold2311]

That's awesome you got your Doc. Hasbro sent me the email saying mines pushed back until September

[@flaffel57]

Ditto! ☹️

[@MoDXtraGC]

Ooof. Yeah - I didn't know about the delay notifications over in the US. Sorry - didn't intend to rub it in :(

[@flaffel57]

@@MoDXtraGCDon’t sweat it! We usually get things before you on this side of the pond! Great review! Roll up a tiny strip of toilet paper or paper towel to look a roll of gauze for him to carry! 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Snowmation]

Taken as a whole I think Doc turned out great and is a must own. My only issue with the figure is the vest. I think at this scale the addon pouches don't really make sense as they just end up being a bit too bulky and if you don't use them you have these huge peg holes in the vest. I wish the vest was removable or they gave him a vest from another figure that didn't have the removable pouches feature. But with that being said, overall he's still a great figure...can't wait to get mine!

[@MoDXtraGC]

I totally agree. Other than the moan about the vest and the glasses being a bit janky he's overall great and I've loved my man-child playtime with this guy. Thanks @Snowmation 🤘

[@Snowmation]

@@MoDXtraGC :D

[@MaximumWarp2099]

This figure is definitely greater than the sum of his parts. But the one thing that I find silly/annoying is that the Joe team at Hasbro didn’t bother to change the naval themed belt buckle on the diaper piece. Unless Doc was a member of the Navy, which I don’t think he is. I’m wondering if the other diaper pieces didn’t look right or they just thought the second belt would cover the oversight and said “Nah, it’ll be fine” and called it a day.

[@MoDXtraGC]

Sadly I suspect it was the later. It's fine - the second belt is pretty good and covers it but there have been one or two times when I've taken a picture and realised its floating and the random sailor buckle is on show! All told though he's def a lot of fun. :)

[@davidr8389]

Great review. He looks awesome.

[@MoDXtraGC]

Thanks David! Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. You planning on picking a Doc up?

[@billybutch-es7ch]

Awesome review!

[@MoDXtraGC]

Thanks Billy. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment :)

[@wilfredodiaz3445]

I got a noticed from Hasbro today june 27 2024 stating that my Doc wont be delivered until September 😕 Great unboxing and review video Chris 👍

[@MoDXtraGC]

Cheers Will :) I only just heard about the Doc delays in the US. That sucks. I swear I didn't intend to rub it in :(

[@wilfredodiaz3445]

I didn't think that Chris...don't worry about it 😊

[@aaronscott5882]

A first-rate review of Doc and his cool accessories!

[@MoDXtraGC]

Thanks Aaron :) Hope you're well?

[@mathrik]

Great review, Chris. You touched on some roleplay/posing questions I've had as well. I'm kind of tempted to pick up two and swap a head in. Do you think the 60th anniversary infantry head would fit comfortably? That would give me 2 medics to carry around the stretcher. I will also be strongly tempted to take off that vest. I did that to one of my Python Patrol TeleVipers, and he looked a lot better imo. Guess we'll see if I can find this guy in stores or have to wait for September when Pulse is scheduled to ship mine.

[@MoDXtraGC]

Thanks Curtis. Pop om over to the Discord - I just posted a pic of the head swap for you to take a look at. :)

[@collegerebel]

I'm waiting on the retro version that Hasbro's very likely going to make .

[@MoDXtraGC]

Sure. Might be awhile yet, I admire your patience. I suffer too much from the FOMO LOL

[@collegerebel]

@@MoDXtraGC I appreciate that.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

2:08 Sorry to be that guy, but the word is 'Asterisk'. Asterix is a comic character whose name is a pun.

[@MoDXtraGC]

You're on a mission to civilise my friend... I used to love Asterix & Obelix as a kid incidentally. Maybe that's where the moment I misspoke came from...

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

@@MoDXtraGC It's very common. Far more people know the character Asterix than know the names of all those little symbols. I'm just pedantic and can't let it slide. 😅

now that the figure has been spoiled I feel like I don't need it :)
